The V4 NAVTEX, a component part of the V4 Marine Communications System, provides facilities to compile, edit, schedule and transmit Maritime Safety Information by NAVTEX in compliance with the IMO and ITU requirements.

The highly automated system monitors and verifies its own transmissions and can display NAVTEX messages from other stations.

The compilation of NAVTEX messages is very straightforward, essential when operator time may be at a premium. Station letters, message serial numbers, message headers and end of transmission characters are automatically generated. The operator simply has to select a category, select the first transmission time slot from a pull down list and enter the message. To aid the operator text can be pasted or imported from other Windows® applications during message compilation.
